Ingredients
- 100 g active sourdough starter
- 300 g bread flour
- 100 g whole wheat flour
- 220 g water adjust as needed
- 10 g salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 100 g raisins
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the active sourdough starter and water. Mix until the starter is well dissolved.
- Add the bread flour, whole wheat flour, and salt. Mix until all the ingredients are combined to form a shaggy dough.
- Allow the dough to rest for about 30 minutes (autolyse).
- Incorporate the ground cinnamon and raisins into the dough, folding and stretching until they are evenly distributed.
- Perform a series of stretch-and-folds every 30 minutes for the next 2-3 hours. This strengthens the dough and develops gluten.
- Cover the bowl and let the dough ferment at room temperature until it has doubled in size (bulk fermentation), usually around 4-6 hours.
- Shape the dough into a round loaf and place it in a proofing basket or banneton, seam side up.
- Allow the dough to undergo its final rise (proofing) for about 1-2 hours or until it passes the poke test.
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) with a Dutch oven or baking stone inside.
- Gently turn the proofed dough onto parchment paper and make a shallow slash on top.
- Carefully transfer the parchment paper and dough into the preheated Dutch oven or onto the baking stone.
- Bake covered for 20 minutes, then uncover and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the loaf has a deep golden brown crust.
- Remove from the oven and let the bread cool on a wire rack before slicing.
Notes
Adjust water quantity if needed to achieve the desired dough consistency.
You can soak the raisins in warm water for about 10 minutes before incorporating them into the dough to prevent them from burning during baking.
